Illustrated by
Alisa Coburn.
A fox sneaks into an unoccupied home ("Hello, door") and proceeds, Grinch-like, to bag up loot: "Hello, necklace. Hello, rings. / HELLO, OTHER SPARKLY THINGS!" He's about to bolt when the irate bear owners return and throw him out ("Hello, window..."). The rhymes are word perfect, and the urbane art gives the wily fox-robber the appeal of a Looney Tunes character.
